"You're Closer Than You Think" - Touré Roberts

[Music] you gotta have a theme you got to have a title so my title for today's is you're closer than you think you're closer get closer you're closer than you think and I want us to look at mark the sixth chapter and we're going to look at the first six verses of Mark and it's not an unfamiliar passage of Scripture if you've been reading your Bible it's an interesting story and and and I've got to admit that I've recently I'm looking at this passage differently and I want to give you the backdrop the backdrop those things that preceded this chapter what happened was Jesus prior to here was supernaturally turned up I mean he is so supercharged he is healing everybody of everything everywhere I mean he's just walking by and women with issues of blood are pressing their way to him saying if I could just touch the hem of His garment I'll behold so people are just touching him and he's getting and they're getting healed he's raising people from the dead people are coming to him saying my daughter is dying and she dies and he raises her back up to life I mean Jesus as it relates to power and ability and ministry I mean multitudes are following him he's preaching profound wisdom I mean as it relates to those things he is at the top of this game well I mean and people are flocking to Jesus because they are getting from Jesus what they cannot get any place else they are walking for miles upon miles to get to this man that they have never even seen they have just heard of what he has done and as a result of their faith and their desperation they are moving they're trying to get to Jesus people are taking off roofs and being lowered in two houses trying to get to this man Jesus because this man Jesus is doing things that have never been done before his room is healing people wow I never looked at it that way and people's lives are changing it is just crazy and then this happens it says now when he had when he had went out from there where is there the place the place where he was pursued passionately and desperately and as a result of him being pursued passionately and desperately people were seeing things that they have never seen before happen so when he goes out from there and came to his own country and his disciples followed him and when the Sabbath had come he began to teach in the synagogue it's the same thing he was doing in those other places and many hearing him were astonished does that sound like what we talked about last week and many hearing him were astonished saying where did this man get these it seems that they're doing okay but watch the turn and what wisdom is this which is given to him that such mighty works are performed by his hands that were doing okay right but watch the turn is this not the carpenter the son of Mary and the brother James Joseph Judas and Simon and are not his sister's here with us so they were offended at him I don't understand oh he just came from these places where people are pursuing him they're fighting to get to him and as a result of it they're getting heal from all diseases things they've had forever and and here he's doing the same thing he's just walking and talking and teaching and these mighty works are there but for some reason when he gets to his own country this familiar rarity factor kicks in and now they like yeah I see all this foot wait a minute hey ain't you married oh boy and an aren't you solar cells brother and in fact your sisters are hanging out with us even to this day and they were offended at him in verse four it says but jesus said to them man a prophet is not without honor except in his own country among his own relatives and in his own house and it says now he could do no mighty work there except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them and he marveled because of their unbelief then he went about the villages in a circuit teaching I at the root of this message prophetically for you is I believe that God has a lot more for you that you have not tapped into yet I will come down and talk to you so bad as I was praying the word that he gave me for you is that where you are versus where God wants to take you what you have versus what God wants to bring into your life what you are walking in versus what God wants you to walk in are two completely different things and the only problem is perception it was the same Jesus the same miracles the same power the same authority that was working tremendously over here but could do very little over there it wasn't that he lacked the power it was that they lacked the perception that would unlock that power in their own life but what got me was it says that I used to when I when I read that story when I used to read that story I Loki used to feel sorry for Jesus I did because here is Jesus humble lowly Jesus and everybody outside of his own family are being moved by him are being blessed by him and then Jesus besides his own come home be amongst loved ones friends family and relatives and surely they are going to welcome him and celebrate him as the powerful Messiah that he was but instead they questioned him reject him and ultimately are offended by him and in my immaturity I just saw a picture of Jesus walking away sad saying a prophet ain't got no honor and the truth of the matter is I still feel very sorry about the text but I don't feel sorry for Jesus I feel sorry for those who had proximity but no promise and one of the things that I'm learning as I begin to walk with God more and more is that availability and accessibility are two completely different things because the power was present to heal when he showed up in his own country but because they were seeing him right they could not access what was available what in your life right now might be so close to you that it could kiss you in your mouth but because you are so familiar with it you can't get no [Applause] oh-oh-oh what becomes too familiar to you you will inevitably take for granted Oh take my time and sometimes our very faith becomes common Jesus in our lives that's why people say Jesus is my homeboy and I know the t-shirts and some of you probably got t-shirt and I'm not mad at you but but but I don't know if you should look at him that way because Jesus is not my homeboy I got homeboys and I'm fond of my homeboys and I love my homeboys and they add things to my life that that nobody else you have but but Jesus is not my homeboy because it is my homeboy he cannot be my god because none of my homeboys oh my god and sometimes we get so comfortable with Jesus that we cannot receive because what I've learned is according to your ability to honor on a certain level on the level that you honor will be the level that you receive and so Jesus is a tiny just sweet little babies is my homie you're gonna miss the god factor when Jesus is your homie because your homies cannot work miracles in your life your homie cannot open doors that no man can shut so even with our faith even with our faith we get familiar we walk up in church and we're just like oh praise God so good to be here let's see what happens instead of walking into just like this is the day this is the day that will my Baptist go I'm about to go ahead and make him up well uh huh come on choir Oh that's enough have enough that's good my best day bout to go in about to go in so what I'm getting at is even even even our faith becomes common we're not excited about it it's just it's just there and and we're happy about it and we're cool but we don't have this sense of awe over our faith and when we don't have this sense of awe over our faith in our relationship with God what God can do in our life becomes restricted there was only one problem the miracles were there the power was there Jesus was there the only thing that was lacking was honour and anything that you do not honor will one day leave you it's going to leave you because because because I got the four points like I said but but I want to get to because because because everything that God has created has a reward in it it does and the way that you get the reward out of it is through honor and that's why in a marriage or in a relationship the moment that you get too comfortable and too familiar where you stop being in awe you are going to start missing the treasure that the other person has in them because the only thing that will activate the release of that treasure is your honor okay all right all right I'm telling you you stop saying thank you you saw thank you so much oh thank you and let that person give and you don't say thank you or you don't celebrate or appreciate what they give I guarantee you they'll stop giving honor is powerful honor is to say I'm valuable it to say I'm worth something so Jesus was there the miracles were there the power there the only thing missing was honor but what got me was it says that I used to feel like like Jesus I felt like Jesus got his feelings hurt and he walked away sad and mumbled to himself a prophet is not without honor except in his own country and he had to go into other towns where he was celebrated right he didn't stay around where he was tolerated he went to where he was celebrated that's what I used to think and I do believe in that principle I do but there was something that jumped out at me and those words that made me think a little differently it says he marveled because of their unbelief it says then he went about the village is what villages those same villages he went about he went around those villages in a circuit teaching so if if this were his own country and he went there and he he tried to do his thing and they rejected him it doesn't say he left per se it just says he went around it says in a circuit this is right there in a circle in a circle teaching so he didn't leave he just circled it and so I stopped asking myself Lord white why did you circle it why didn't you just go cuz I thought like as I read earlier I thought that when that happened he just went to other places he didn't leave he just went on the outside he stay clothes and he kept teaching he kept doing his thing but he stayed close and I said why and then God gave me this analogy and I thought about when you're on an airplane and you have a destination and you're the part of an airplane you got a deposit of people to bring into the airport sometimes when the runway is not clear you can't land and so what do you do you circle because you you are determined to get there and because you got a deposit to make you've got some people that need to get somewhere you determined to get somewhere but but as long as there are things on the runway prohibiting your landing then you keep circling and flying around and I thought about it I said God wants to do some things in our lives but we've got things on the runway of our lives that are prohibiting Jesus Airlines from landing on our runway there things in the way and so I want to talk about I want to give you four things that we must do or think four ideas I will clear the runway so that that miracle can land as God desires it tell anybody the miracle near for real anybody need to see something that that you cannot produce by yourself so I want to so because you're close you're closer than you think as a matter of fact I believe that the miracle is circling some of you right now it's circling some of you it's close its close but but there's not enough room on your runway for this big gigantic thing that Jesus wants to bring to land so he has to circle but he has that left and the promise of not gone and what I wanted to tell you you're closer than you think what God promised you is closer than you think but there are some things that you have to remove out of the way so that he can land the first one the first thing you have to do is you have to release irrelevant questions you have to release irrelevant questions you know it's funny if we go back to the text so Jesus comes it comes to the synagogue he's teaching he's preaching they're astonished it's going so well they're astonished at what he's doing it's amazing Wow these words and his mighty works Wow and then these fools start asking questions where did this man get these things let me tell you something when you need a miracle I don't care if you stole it from 7-eleven if it shows up that's between you and 70 left I got nothing to do with that if I'm thirsty and I pray to God for some water and you show up with the water that ain't none of my business about I mean it you've got to figure that out I pray I got nothing to do with that you all work that out okay all I know irrelevant questions where did this man get these things and what wisdom is this which is given that such mighty works are performed by his head who cares and what happens in our own lives is God trying to move in our lives and we've got all these doggone questions okay god I know you said this but what's going to happen over there and if I do this over there then what's how's this going to work and how's it going to work out and I hear God saying every time you ask a question the plane continues to circle because the runway is filled with irrelevant questions that do not matter and you're asking me these questions by you asking me these questions you are proving to me that you do not know who I am you do not know that all I got to do is fake a thing and it's done I don't have to answer to you if I say it's going to happen happen too many questions on the runway and every time you question and every moment you spend questioning is another loop in the air irrelevant questions I'll be honest with you some things and none of your business all you know is that you afraid God promised you heard it and what you do from that point is you set everything in your life into the ready ready position in anticipation for what is to come knowing that everything that is needed to be worked out is already worked out it's not your job to clean up where God has shown up it's got your job they start asking questions and and what's crazy is the moment that they begin to ask questions everything is going downhill when the staff Academy began to teach in the synagogue a mini hearing and where a stylist that's going really good but then they start asking question is that something start going down here what did this man get this thing get these things watch the progress in the questioning what did this man get these things and what wisdom is this which is given to him that such mighty works are performed by his hands then watch this and keep going the question to keep going is that this the carpenter son of Mary and brother of Jesus Joseph Judas and Simon and are not his sister's here with us so they were offended in him their questions talked them out of their miracle did you see it they started off astonished they left off offended simply because they gave themselves over to irrelevant questions I'm thinking about the faith of the Centurion remember the Centurion in Scripture read the whole Bible it's in their promises but there's a Centurion and he's a Roman soldier and a Centurion sent Centennial he was over a thousand he was over a thousand soldiers right this Roman soldier caught a Centurion and I love it because he has this encounter where his servant was sick right he's not even Jewish right he's not even a person of the faith so to speak but he had heard of Jesus but he didn't have that familiar thing and so he goes to Jesus and he says eases my my servant is sick can you please heal my servant jesus said yeah let me come to your house and healing and and and the SIRT and the Centurion said no no you only have to come to my house I understand how this works I'm a man of authority he said speaker work just speak a word and my servant will be healed and watch how Jesus responds to this good job guys and he goes on and he says well for I'm also a man under Authority having soldiers under me this isn't Centurion talking to Jesus and I say to this one go and he goes and to another come and he comes into my servant do this and he does it and then watch this encounter when Jesus heard it he marvelled right see count Jesus is marveling because of unbelief in another account he is marveling because of the leaf but look at what he says when Jesus heard it he marvelled and he said to those who followed assuredly I say to you I have not found such great faith not even in Israel in other words not even amongst those who are supposed to believe see the Centurions gonna have a whole bunch of irrelevant questions here I don't even need you I don't have to figure out how you gonna here I just know that if you put your word on it if you just speak this word that says that that my service is going to be healed I don't have to ask questions about how you're going to do is you don't even have to come to my house I just believe it because you said it I am desperate for your word because the word has power but what happens when we get too familiar with Jesus and we get too familiar with faith and we get too familiar with our relationship with God his abilities in our lives become diminished release those irrelevant questions are some of you right now and the plane wants to land who that's a plane with the things that God is after the Lord things that God has promised you but the only problem is your runway is not ready the first thing is release the irrelevant questions the second thing is you have to restore your aw and you wonder man let's just keep it on you I think man I think we're spoiled right you all with God and God starts blessing you and and and and this is all of us right right I'm holding my hand up okay we can't spoil man God so good to us he just blesses us and doors open all that kind of stuff man and life is good and you know and paycheck-to-paycheck ain't happy no more you got 17 dollars left over when it's all done now and and and your life seems to kind of settle I get uncomfortable when things get too comfortable I've been walking with God long enough to know that I actually need to meet God you understand what I'm saying I kind of like need I need to meet God because because I do need God and need me needing to need God is an acknowledgment that I need God but sometimes I don't think I need God so I need to meet God because I only have truth when I need to need God because I do need him all the time but sometimes because my needs are met I don't think I needed I was thinking about in that text I was thinking about it said that he couldn't do many works there could do many mind works it says except for a few people that needed healing and I thought about that and I said who must these few people have been they be probably look at them other people like yeah yeah y'all just be comfortable yeah he's familiar he see others get out the way because as soon as I get a straight shot at Jesus I've been holding on to this illness and this ailment for a long time yeah y'all don't believe if you want to I'm a rush right in there because there will always be a few desperate people there will always be a few people that will seize opportunities that we leave on the table hmm I'm trying figure out to say this right I one of my greatest fears is for somebody to be hungrier for God than me and lay hold of my destiny that I was too comfortable and familiar with in order to lay hold out oh I feel right there see there's some people in this room right now and your advantage is your hunger I feel it right there boy I want to impart hunger your advances is your hunger because what has happened is God has blessed so many people and they have eaten so much they've eaten so much that they have gotten comfortable and they're not hungry for the things of God because they think that they have reached the end of what God is going to do in their life but how many of us know all you got to do is stay hungry and you go from level to level from glory to glory because as wide as you can open your mouth will be the capacity in which God feels you don't get comfortable stay hungry I'm thinking about those few people who got healed and who knows what the healing was but they're like oh okay you coming by yeah and they probably were in the crowd faking like it ain't but Mary's baby yeah and let the crowd dispersed and they went right in there we got to restore our ah and I wonder I remember there was a pastor from Africa I think God for Africa and it was a pastor from Africa and he said something that convicted me and I'm it's about ten years ago and he said something that convicted me and he said you in the West he said you guys believe in God true he said we in Africa we depend on God in rats me it rats me it wrecked me because he was absolutely right and that's why people are being raised from the dead in Africa that's why blind eyes are opening in Africa that's why the lame is walking in Africa it's the same Jesus the same Jesus the same opportunity for healing and breakthrough the same miracle working power the only difference is the hunger the only difference is the perspective I want I want God to restore our ahh and I want to we come in is this this tabernacle the cominis this place where God meets us my god what are you going to do today he think about his disciples they didn't leave all following him because they saw him as ordinary common or playing they win on this incredible journey with Jesus because every day was an adventure one day there was a dilemma that looked like two fish and five loaves of bread amongst 10,000 people right because it's 5,000 plus women and children so arguably 10,000 people to fish and five loaves of bread they went from dilemma to miracle and all of a sudden all these people are being fed people coming up to Jesus lame and crippled and blind and Jesus healing them they were like there is we don't know what's going to happen today we just know that Jesus got it and it's going to be awesome and they left everything and followed him I want that type of all I want to wake up every day with Jesus saying what are we going to do today what's going to happen today so these people who were too familiar with Jesus could not even see they live two different universes one universe of limitations and the others live in a universe where all things were possible and the only difference was their perception and so the question is what world do you want to live in did you want to live in a world where Jesus wants to show up but he can't show up because you haven't created enough space for him or do you want to live in the world where you work hard and you press into clearing the runway so that your God can land the plane and have things show up in your life going to beyond anything you could have ever imagined that's where we get into the second thing is restore your awe and your wonder the third thing is this never lack honor honor is everything as I mentioned before everything that God creates has a reward in it right now you have a reward in you there's something that God has placed on the inside of you and if someone honors you properly the best of you will come out are you tracking anything like I believe I believe in every human being I'm sound care what you've been through I don't care what's going on I don't care you down how you could be on the street on the sidewalk drinking whatever it because I know what's in you and so literally I honor everybody because I know if there's something in you and not only is there something in you that I want to see God bring out but if it comes out I got a rewarding that too but never never ever lack honor it was interesting I was at a I was at a conference this weekend my father-in-law's conferences in gallus this weekend is amazing pastors and leaders conference and and in this one particular session I watched via live stream because I didn't make it in that morning and I watch the via livestream and they're people who come from all around the world to sit at the feet and hear the wisdom of a man that I sit down with and have dinner with you know on a regular write for me it's dinner and conversation to them it's life and I was blown away because I sat there and and he was given away he had some I guess like like a DVD series or a tape series or whatever for leaders and he had ten to give away and it's his room and eight thousand people are in this room and he says you know a I've got I've got ten of these things I want to give away I want to give it to the first ten ten passes that come down here right of a room for the eight thousand I'll be honest with you I wouldn't have run down there and it's not because I don't admire him or respect him 11 I'd notice that there was something in there but I just wasn't hungry enough because quite possibly I wasn't seeing him right you should have seen those pastors particularly the ones who were from other countries jump up and run down there and by the time you know we stopped the heard is about twenty people he had to give Tim Moore away and someone just hit in my head and I started thinking like they see him right and so and it was time for him to lay hands on them right and I'm like oh they're getting ready to receive because and it's not because there is anything different as it relates to anointing between that day and another day but it was the hunger in the room that when it was time for him to lay hands he wouldn't even have had to land all he would have to was just breeze on them because their honor and their expectation was at such a level that they had already received before he even touched him and they were falling out all over the place and I thought about it and I thought about my own kids and I have literally hundreds of thousands of people around the world getting their life changed by the anointing that's on my life and sometimes the people who are the closest to me are the most difficult ones to get it to where I'm pastoring people that are in the same demographic as you they're getting their life changed by it and it's just dad at dinner to you isn't that interesting sometimes the miracle is right in front of you but because you're so familiar you can't get it I feel that for somebody you're closer than you think for some of you right now what you've been praying for is in front of you just like it was in front of them but because of proximity the appropriate honor slipped whereas you could be healed and you could be so much further you're lacking honor I feel this with somebody's luggage that's something prophetic you're mad at your boss you're mad at your boss you're mad at someone who is ahead of you and when you decide to honor them something's going to be released because people that are above you have a reward to give you but if you are always sizing them up I'll sell it right there see see there's no authority that does not come from God no authority so if someone is ahead of you in their career they have authority over you in that area and you can hate on them all you want to but God took them there you don't like it the Bible says all authorities are doing by God you can hate on it all you want to but if they are ahead of you there is something in them that if you honor properly they will release to you David let me tell you something we've almost done in a minute about an hour David David understood this David was anointed king and he was anointed king while Saul was still positionally the King and David honored so even though Sol was trying to kill him Sol was throwing javelins at him he was jealous of him he's throwing javelins and he said his army out to get him but David never ever attacked Saul he always honored Saul because he knew that what God had for him was for him and he was not going to violate divine principles trying to lay hold of something that was his already if he would maintain his integrity are you hearing me what God has for you is for you there is no devil in hell no man that can stop oh I feel God so what you do is you just keep on honoring oh I want to come down and talk to you but my livestream people would be disadvantaged I hear that strongly you need to submit you need to humble yourself god help me to see this person right because I don't like them but they got something on the inside of me that I need help me honor them so that I can get what belongs to me because sometimes God will hide your miracle in someone you hate because it's not just you getting it's you becoming and God want you to become before he allows you to have because it's always about who you become would that be just by God to bury the treasure of your destiny in someone you can't stand because I have to become somebody to get it and lastly talking about clearing the runway you'd have to create and live in the atmosphere of faith I'm going to say this and I'm done sometimes your runway is too small for the plane that God wants to land in your life faith you think it's a delay it's not a delay God is just giving you time to expand your faith Wow God makes a promise God gives you a word and when it gives you the word there's a measure of faith in that word but it's just a measure faith that measure of faith has to grow and grow and grow and grow to become big enough to to receive the word that God spoke it's not here because my faith is not there I have faith for something that is about a third of the size of what he promised I'm not there yet are you tracking with me it's not that you're waiting on God this is what I'm telling you I'm saying as I'm done I've learned since I've been walking with God and I've seen blessings from level to level here is one of the number one things that I've learned I have never been waiting on God he has been waiting on me to grow up and Simba tour and to expand in faith enough to receive the moment that my faith got on the level of that thing the thing appeared not a second sooner faith is this now faith is the substance of things hoped for it is the evidence of things not seen so when God gives me a word he gives me faith but my faith has to grow up and when my faith has matured to the size of the miracle not a second sooner nor a second later the moment that my faith is equal to what he promised it manifests [Applause] clearing the runway often times has to do with moving the debris of doubt off the landing strip long will shoulder what I brought you here or what you came here to receive is that there's more and when your faith becomes common when anything it becomes common and familiar when your faith becomes common when you lose your wonder of Jesus and you lose your being aw struck about Jesus did you come in here saying Jesus I can't wait to meet you in the house amongst believers but as you come saying I'm excited but let's see what happens in church I want I want my prayer for you is so much bigger than Church my prayer for you is that there is a revival that happens in you and that there is a restoration of awe and wonder at his name that he that he's not your homeboy because he's not stopped at he ain't that could be a part of him but not delete I don't even like it to be honest with you to each his own whatever but I think that you lose something when you bring Jesus too low I think you lose something when you bring him too low like you dab in with Jesus maybe but not all not so much I'm not dabbing Jesus [Applause] [Music] [Applause] know what I'm saying I'm grateful thank you for saving me thank you for not allowing me to die thank you that I'm in my right mind thank you for bringing me through that and that and that over there and that back there you know my homeboy in my king you're my leader and I'll follow you if you're here i'ma pray for you if you're here and you need to recommit your honor to Jesus you need to recommit your life to him if you're here when you say I want for my off and my wonder in the Lord to be restored I want you to come and leave me here this also right now you're hearing God speaking to you you're closer than you think God's been circling you know you know why he was circling you know why he didn't leave cause he loves them and he knew that it wasn't even that they were evil it wasn't even that that was keeping them from honoring him it was that it was just a cry be too familiar and they knew he knew he's like I ain't going too far i'ma keep circling I'ma be out in the village I'm gonna keep teaching because they don't get it they're gonna get who I am and things are going to open out they're going to open up I see it Oh hallelujah gods will open your eyes see you Mike and they're going to be astonished again and the debris of doubt and anxiety is going to be removed from your runway you're not going to lack on it you're going to honor God and you're going to honor others you're going to honor others some people right now and the problem in your marriage or the problem in your relationship is that you've gotten too comfortable you've gotten too familiar the problem in your church you can't even receive from your pastor that's why you know I like to to get close to people but there's a part of me that doesn't want to because the moment that you see a little bit of my humanity you will no longer be able to receive the fullness of my divinity and that's the crazy conflict and that's one of the reasons why I don't let people get real close and it's not that I'm being aloof it's not that it's better for you for you to stay at a distance so that you all always see me right it's better for you because the reality of it is the best part of me is what you see right here is the anointing and the words that comes out of my mouth trust me it's better for you better for me it's better for you if there's differences because very few people are mature enough to handle both humanity and divinity in the same flight he's got stuff for he's got things for you and it's awesome because it's like getting saved all over again I think every day we ought to get saved all over again the joy of our salvation every single day god I thank you for my salvation I thank you for waking me up this morning I think you did I have my right mind I thank you that I can walk and talk I thank you that you're still working in my life I think that the best is still yet to cover I think you still work in miracles every single day Oh God Oh creates space on your runway forgot to land his miracle airliner he's circling but I think he's getting ready to land I think he's getting ready to land in some of your lives I see it that planes gonna land because you made room I remember Oh God time suck I remember i'ma tell a story I remember I was I was flying in somewhere from somewhere and I was flying in and the plane was getting ready to land and just imagine you're getting ready to land you start landing and then all of a sudden right before you can read land the plane pulls back up into the scare I've never experienced anything like that before and then he started circling again and I said what happened and he said at the last minute we were landing but at the last minute some sort of equipment got on the runway and I had to pull up again if you're here and you know you need to be down here if God was speaking to you throughout the entire service and you felt the Holy Spirit if you didn't that's fine I'm not talking to you that's not you but you felt the Holy Spirit throughout the entire service touching you and your chest saying he's talking to me and you were getting ready to warm out of here because there's some irrelevant questions that came in your spirit something that came on the runway and beginning to block you I want you to come and meet me here at this altar I'm beyond the time but but I just got that end God bless you I'd be god bless you I see you come just come we're going to pray and something's what happens just come just come we're going to pray and something wonderful and amazing it's going to take place just come just come just come just come let's come just come father here we are and Lord it is almost normal for us to take you for granted how could we not when you are so good when your mercy endures forever when your goodness and mercy follows us all the days of our lives when you shower us with blessing and goodness when you are slow to chasing us how could we not take you for granted and God we're here to say we need you to help us to not father I thank you for your sons and daughters here at this altar I think you got their hearts to receive this message today and because they had hearts to receive this message today you're doing a new work in their life and God you told me that more is coming that is the good news of all of this that more that greater is on its way all because we were willing to allow you to change our perspective Lord we repent and we renounce Lord any spiritual disposition that would assume that you are common you're not just Mary's baby you're not just Jesus the carpenter you're God you are Savior you are our Redeemer you are a miracle worker every time we had irrelevant questions when you told us to move forgive us and today we're taking up our questions that we're saying God it is none of our business if you say go we'll go if you say do we will do and father we honor you and Lord we're going to prove it in our daily disciplines when we get up in the morning the first thing we're going to do is we're going to give you thanks when we roll out of bed the first place that we're going to stop is on our knees that say thank you Jesus please be with us in this day and God we're going to get rid of the doubt so that we can create a space for the miracle that you have promised I thank you for your love for every person here and thank you God for circling you could have gone on to someone else you could have said I'm going to give that destiny but somebody who's hungry but you didn't do that at all you said I'm going to keep circling because I know that me who have done who have begun a good work in you shall complete it until the day of Jesus Christ so we thank you for not leaving us nor forsaking us but circling and now god with arms stretched wide we say God you can land now you have found a worthy runway and now you can land we thank you God please repeat after me Heavenly Father I thank you for your love I receive it Heavenly Father I thank you for your grace it is abundant I thank you for this word you spoke to me you called me and I embrace it I thank you for Jesus thank you for making him who had no sin all of mine all of my weakness all of my shortcoming all of my failure you placed in his body nailed it to the cross and put it to death once and for all but just as you raised him up free and victorious because I'm in him I'm raised up to my past is behind me my future is greater and today god I honor you new [Music] you [Music]
